Easter 2026 threatens to be a challenging celebration for Greek families as lamb and kid meat prices skyrocket due to severe market shortages. The combination of recent animal diseases and reduced domestic production has created unprecedented supply constraints, leaving consumers to pay premium prices for traditional Easter meats.
Consumer protection experts warn that the shortage opens the door for unscrupulous traders and fraud. As families face limited availability and inflated prices, scammers are preparing to exploit the situation, potentially offering counterfeit or substandard products to desperate buyers searching for Easter ingredients.
